Toaster Strudel’s are one of those foods that feel nostalgic to me. I haven’t had one in ages, but I can remember exactly how they taste. I loved finding them in my mom’s freezer and looked forward to pouring that tiny icing packet on top of the freshly toasted strudel, yum! Well, when Cooking Classy posted her homemade strudel, I knew I had to make them. Don’t worry, they aren’t all that intimidating because it calls for pre-made pastry as well as jam, but it turns into something amazing. Let’s just refer to them as the sophisticated toaster strudel, shall we?

Be sure to seal all edges completely so that you don’t have any leaks as I did with one. Then just sit back and watch them puff up and turn golden brown!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liners.

Place 1 sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 equal rectangles. In a small bowl whisk together jam with cornstarch then spoon 1 1/2 Tbsp jam over top of 3 of the rectangles, leaving about 1/2-inch rim around all edges uncoated. In a small bowl whisk together egg with 1 Tbsp water.

I have had these toaster strudels on my mind since you posted it. So finally I decided to make them. The cool night made it possible to turn the oven on. They are absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing
